ImageReady is an image editor that allows you to work with bitmaps for the purpose of creating Web visuals. It is owned by Adobe and was included with Photoshop until the release of CS2, after which it was discontinued in favor of Adobe Fireworks. If you are still using an older version of Photoshop that includes ImageReady, it is possible to create hyperlinks that can be used on a webpage. ImageReady creates all the underlying HTML code for you to integrate into your site.

Launch Photoshop and create a new file or open the image that you want to use as a hyperlink.

Use the "Text" tool to add text to the image. This allows visitors to your site to know that they can click on the image in order to follow the link.

Click the "Edit in ImageReady" button at the bottom of the Toolbox in Photoshop.

Select the "Slice" tool from the ImageReady toolbox and then click and drag it over the area of your image that you want to use as a hyperlink. You are able to add multiple slices to a single image with a hyperlink attached to each one.

Click the "Slice Select Tool" to the right of the "Slice" tool, then click on one of the areas you have marked to be used as a hyperlink to open the slice panel window.

Type the URL of the hyperlink in the URL section of the slice panel.

Repeat the process to add further hyperlinks to the slices that you have created.

Click "File" and select the "Save Optimized" option. Select "HTML and Images" from the drop-down menu next to "Save as type" and then enter a file name. Click the "Save" button to store your work on your computer.
